Mixed vegetable frittata

A Mixed Vegetable Frittata is a nutritious and delicious dish that combines fresh vegetables and savory cheeses with fluffy eggs. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner, this frittata is not only easy to make but also versatile enough to please any palate.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 leek
180g
2 zucchini
400g
1 cup peas
120g
6 eggs
300g
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
120g
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
20g

Instructions:

1. Preheat: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Clean and slice the leek.
- Slice the zucchini into rounds.
- If using frozen peas, thaw them beforehand.
3. Cook the Vegetables:
- In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the sliced leek to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Add the sliced zucchini and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the peas and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
- Stir in the ricotta and grated parmesan cheese until well combined.
5. Combine and Cook:
- Pour the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables in the skillet, gently stirring to ensure even distribution.
- Cook on medium heat for about 3-5 minutes until the edges start to set but the center remains slightly runny.
6. Bake:
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and slightly golden on top. You can test by inserting a knife in the center; it should come out clean.
7. Serve:
- Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm. You might want to pair it with an onion relish or a side salad to complete the meal.

Tips:

- Prep Your Vegetables: Make sure to thoroughly clean and chop your vegetables before you begin cooking. This will save time and ensure an even cook.

- Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to the appropriate temperature before you start cooking. This ensures that your frittata cooks evenly and has a perfect texture.

- Use Fresh Eggs: Opt for the freshest eggs possible, as they will provide better flavor and texture to your frittata.

- Grease The Pan: Use olive oil or a non-stick spray to grease your oven-safe skillet or baking dish to prevent the frittata from sticking.

- Don’t Overcook: Keep an eye on the frittata as it bakes, and remove it from the oven as soon as the eggs are set to prevent a dry or rubbery texture.

- Allow to Cool: Let the frittata sit for a few minutes after baking. This will make it easier to cut and serve.

This Mixed Vegetable Frittata makes for a wholesome and satisfying meal that's full of flavor and loaded with nutrients. Simple to prepare and delightful to enjoy, it's a recipe you'll want to make again and again.
